State dismisses charges
in Kent State indictments
RAVENNA, Ohio AP-The
state Tuesday dismissed for lack
of evidence the remaining 20
cases against persons indicted in
the May 1970 Kent State
University disorders.
The state’s decision was an
nounced shortly after May Helen
Nicholas—the fifth person to be
tried—was acquitted of a charge
of interfering with a fireman
during the May 2, 1970, burning of
a campus ROTC building.
In earlier Portage County
Common Please Court trials, two
defendants pleaded guilty, one
was found guilty on one count by
a jury and charges against
another were dismissed for lack
of evidence.
Atty. Gen William Brown held
a brief news conference Tuesday
in his office to formally announce
that the remaining 20 cases had
been dropped.
Brown said in a statement that
the dismissals “are not intended
to vindicate nor criticize the
special grand jury, the students,
the National Guard, the ad
ministration of Kent State
University, or any other party
involved in the Kent State in
cidents of May 1970,”
John Hayward, the state’s chief
prosecutor in the cases, said the
transcript of the special state
grand jury that indicted 25
persons in the Kent disorders had
been received by the special
prosecutors 10 days ago.
Upon review of the transcript
and considering the outcome of
the trials so far, he said, “It is the
conclusion of the office of the
attorney general of Ohio that the
following cases by dismissed for
lack of evidence.”
But, he contended, the first five
cases would have been tried
anyway because there was
sufficient evidence to warrant
trials.
Chinese to aid W. Pakistan
if India maintains occupation
MOSCOW AP— Communist
China will not permit India to
maintain a military occupation of
East Pakistan, informed non
Soviet diplomatic sources
reported Tuesday.
The informants, who are in
regular contact with Peking but
declined to be identified, said the
Chinese government will not
intervene militarily in the war as
long as Pakistani forces continue
fighting.
However, should Pakistan
show it is unable to hold out
against the Soviet-backed Indian
war machine, one said, "we will
have a tailor-made situation for a
people’s war." "China is not
going to give it up.”
They would not detail what
form the Chinese action might
take, but indicated that Peking
would support and supply
guerrilla forces that could turn
East Pakistan into an Indian
style Vietnam.
The Chinese have firmly
supported Pakistan in its conflict
with India and Tuesday sharply
castigated the Soviet Union for
"bullying Pakistan ... in
collusion with the Indian ex
pansionists."
"There is very little that
Moscow has done for India, that
Peking has not done for
Pakistan," one source remarked.
The Pakistani government is
reportedly maintaining con
tinuous consultations with Peking
on the war and the developing
situation in the United Nations,
where the Soviet Union in the
past two days has vetoed two
cease fire and Indian withdrawal
resolutions in the Security
Council.
The Kremlin expressed fear
Sunday that China may act even
before' Kast Pakistan falls to
Indian troops
Diplomatic observers pointed
to Moscow's declaration Sunday
that the war constituted a threat
to its security because of its
proximity to the Soviet frontier.
Moscow also warned that all
nations should stay out of the
conflict
The sources agreed that the
Soviet statement was mainly
directed toward China They
noted that Peking could also talk
of a threat to its borders because
it shares a frontier with Pakistan
and India that stretches more
than 1.2S0 miles The Soviet
Union has no common border
with either.
The sources predicted relations
between China and the Soviet
Union would undoubtedly
deteriorate further when, and if,
Moscow announces formal
recognition of the Bangla Desh,.
the name the Bengali
secessionists have given East
Pakistan.
But they concurred thac the
Kremlin would hold off on
recognition at least until Indian
forces had gained more East
Pakistani territory and ef
fectively secured their hold.
House passes bill
likely to be vetoed
WASHINGTON AP—The
House brushed aside threats of a
presidential veto Tuesday and
passed 210 to 186 a bill that would
launch a major new daycare
program for preschool children.
The bill, which also extends for
two years a variety of federal
antipoverty programs, now goes
to the White House, which worked
hard to defeat it.
The new child-development
program it authorizes had
aroused intensive opposition
among conservatives, and
President Nixon will be under
heavy pressure from them to veto
it.
Although no one mentioned the
possibility of a veto during the
House debate, minority leader
Gerald Ford of Michigan told a
Republican caucus just before
the vote that a veto was certain if
the House passed the bill.
And outside the chamber, a
White House lobbyist but
tonholing members on their way
to vote, assured them a veto
woulo be forthcoming
Despite the warning, 31
Republicans deserted Ford and
the administration and voted
with 179 Democrats in favor of
the bill.
Albert recalled that in a
message to Congress two years
ago Nixon called for “national
commitment to providing all
American children an op
portunity for helpful * and
stimulating development during
the first five years of life.”
“Although President Nixon has
changed his mind more than any
other President in my memory,”
Albert added, "I don’t think he
would change his mind on the
need for helping children.”
The new child-care program
would provide medical,
nutritional and educational
services for preschool children in
locally run centers.
The services would be free for
children from families with an
annual income under $4,320 a
year. Fees based on a sliding
scale according to income would
be charged for other children.
Priority for participation in the
program would be given to
working mothers.

NEW YORK — McGraw-Hill Book Co. announced
Tuesday it has acquired world rights to a 230,000-word
autobiography of the elusive multimillionaire Howard
Hughes. The book company also rejected a claim the book
was not legitimate. A spokesman for the Hughes Tool Co.,
which controls the Hughes interests, denied the existence of a
Hughes autobiography. “We just can’t say anything further,
just that it is not true,” the spokesman said in Las Vegas,
after learning of the McGraw-Hill announcement.
WASHINGTON — In a sparsely attended debate, Senate
opponents of Assistant Atty. Gen. Rehnquist’s nomination to
the Supreme Court said Tuesday he is out of step with the
times. Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., said Rehnquist’s philosophy
is so dedicated to the past that he is unable or unwilling “to
use the great flexibility of the Constitution to root out
inequality and injustice.” If confirmed, Bayh said, the 47
year-old former Phoenix, Ariz., lawyer would use “his great
intellect...to give acceptability to practices that the Warren
Court has laid to rest. “And he will do it feeling in his heart of
hearts that he is right,” Bayh told the Senate in urging
rejection of Rehnquist’s nomination to succeed retired
Justice John Harlan.
WASHINGTON — Congressmen were told Tuesday there
is “no substantive evidence” of involvement of any high
ranking South Vietnamese military officer in illicit drug
trafficking in that country. John Ingersoll, director of the
Bureaus of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, told a House
armed forces subcommittee that there had been rumors and
speculation but that evidence of a substantive nature has
never been developed concerning high ranking officers.
